Achieving Epic Engagement with LinkedIn | Student Affairs and Technology

Achieving Epic Engagement with LinkedIn | Student Affairs and Technology | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.insidehighered.com - October 7, 2018 8:40 AM
There are more than 575 million people on LinkedIn. It's not the biggest social network, but it's definitely one of the most important channels for digital engagement. As the world's leading platform for career development and professional connections, LinkedIn fluency is a foundational aspect of employability and social networking.

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of LinkedIn. The social network site/app with a professional bent was a major element in the construction of my UK higher education consulting work. LinkedIn was (and is) a conduit for learning, sharing, and leadership.

From www.opencolleges.edu.au - October 12, 2017 10:30 AM

For one thing, we’re living longer and working longer as a result. According to a report by the Foundation for Young Australians, a 15-year-old today can expect to have upwards of 17 jobs in five different industries over the course of their working life. With this in mind, workers can no longer rely solely on the skills gained in college for long-term career success.

How Will Microsoft’s Acquisition of LinkedIn Affect Higher Ed? | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.edtechmagazine.com - June 18, 2016 9:43 AM
As soon as Microsoft announced its $26.2 billion deal to purchase professional networking site LinkedIn, members of the higher education community started wondering: What does it mean for us?

Speculations center around Microsoft’s stated intentions for the popular online learning platform, Lynda.com, which LinkedIn acquired in 2015.

“In the future, LinkedIn Learning (Lynda.com) will tightly integrate into Office, enabling users to have a more seamless experience and access to on-demand courses,” the company wrote in an investor presentation.
